preference for painting in pastel color from that time on. From 1999 to 2012 his paintings were exhibited
in a museum of Izu district in Japan.
He has also been deeply having an interest in French arts and crafts for many years which bloomed from
the late 19th C. to the early 20th C., called the Art Nouveau and the Art Deco period, and has been making
great efforts with self-study for improvement of his specialized knowledge about them and with collecting
wide range of their materials.
Around 2010 he came to arrive at the state of mind that by his former colored painting style he wouldn't
be able to depict the world in his sight or in his mind any further, and then dared to change his drawing
style from in multiple color to in solid black color by stippling. It was a unexpected event or transition for him.
His doing of forming a character of a world by accumulating numerous dots in size suggestive of the cut
surface of human hair could be said not only an extraordinary work, but so to speak, an act of madness.
Yoneto Bei also changed his painting motives from human figures to diverse subject matters and has kept
its painting style until today.
Currently his main activities are to hold the personal exhibitions and to display his works at the Salons in
Paris and at art exhibitions in Japan.
